Infused with tones, hues
Serene, sublime, the path fools
Predator hides, waits
Within fresh green, gold
Hidden by nature, beauty, bold
He captures, sedates
Beyond garden’s edge
Shadowed and dewy, the ledge
Where remains her fate
Pay attention
I’ll climb up the ladder
Stainless and tall
With a bottle of wine in my hand
Then sit on the roof
In wonder and awe
Gazing out at the stark desert land
I’ll sip and I’ll ponder
The beauty beyond
Watch the deer and the bobcat glide by
I’ll listen intently
To nighthawks and owls
As the bats flit across twilight sky
Here in Sonora
Harsh, exquisite, bold
I’ll take it all in
On this journey towards old
Casting eyes ‘cross garden,
Then looking b’yond I see
The desert, pure and natural
Greeting, inspiring me
I’m grateful
For glittering eyes
Green ones
